Full List of Stream TV Scam Sites Below

If you don’t see what you are looking for, or you simply want to do the research yourself – Scamadviser.com is a great place to start.

I. Free Internet Channel Sites (Digital TV for PC Scam)

There are hundreds of services out there such as this and they all offer pretty much the same thing: links to free online video broadcast channels that are readily available, searchable and categorized for easier navigation. The problem with these types of sites is it is difficult to find anything to watch because most of your favorite shows will not be available, the video quality is normally bad, channels offered are worldwide so language becomes an issue, they are always trying to get you to download a player of some sort, and site navigating is tiresome. I suggest using a site like this to find the very best channels that cater to your interests and then to simply bookmark the source sites.

II. Illegal Streaming Services and Devices

Are set-top TV boxes that stream content only available through subscription pay services, illegal?

In short, anyone accessing content from a pirate site is involving themselves in unlawful behavior and is often putting money into the hands of criminals.

The Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) is a trade organization set up to protect and represent the interests of its members’ intellectual property and works with authorities to fight piracy.

A FACT spokeswoman said customers should be aware of what they can and can’t use boxes for.

She said: “When it comes to set-top boxes which stream content, the bottom line is that certain programs and channels are only available through subscription pay services.”

“If a device provides access to that content without a valid subscription from the recognized provider, then anyone using that device needs to be aware that they are accessing that content unlawfully.”

“Our strong advice to the public is to steer clear of any service other than the recognized provider which appears to be offering access to these channels and programs at a discounted cost.”

Further evidence of the legality issues is how Comcast started issuing copyright infringement notices to Kodi users in October of 2015.

“Do you have Comcast Xfinity and use Kodi unofficial add-ons to stream movies and TV shows? Well you may soon see a copyright infringement alert pop up or receive an email warning you to stop. We have received word from readers that they are getting copyright infringement notifications but only use Kodi to stream content.” Read the full article at CordCutterNews.
